SmartLipo Triplex – Ideal for Treating Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia refers to abnormally large breasts in men. It is the result of the build-up of excess fat, breast skin and glandular tissue due an imbalance of hormones. It can occur at any age. Men with overly large breasts may suffer embarrassment, emotional distress, and low self-esteem. Fortunately, there is a solution: male breast reduction surgery or gynecomastia treatment. The main features of the condition are:

>> Excess localized deposits of fat

>> Excessive development of glandular tissue

>> Excess breast skin (in some cases presence in one breast or both breasts)

Smartlipo Triplex Laser Liposuction

In contrast to conventional surgical procedures for breast reduction, laser liposuction gently melts and breaks up the fatty tissue so that it can be easily suctioned off. It is ideal to treat dense fat or glandular tissue. The FDA-approved laser-enabled SmartLipo Triplex workstation from Cynosure combines the power of three laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) that works to rapidly dissolve fat, coagulate tissue, and tighten the surrounding skin. The system is also incorporated with intelligent delivery systems such as SmartSense™ - ThermaGuide™ and ThermaView™ that allows for more targeted delivery of energy and avoids the risk of over treatment.

The procedure is minimally invasive, causes less discomfort and comes with a fast recovery time. This office-based procedure involves local anesthesia and so the risks of complications are also minimal. If there are any scars, these will usually fade over time. If there is glandular tissue, these may be surgically removed by making small incisions.

The procedure results in a more sculpted, well-defined manly physique. Patients can usually get back to normal activity in one to two days.

Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon is Important

Here are some tips that can help locate the right surgeon to perform male breast reduction surgery:

>> Make sure that the surgeon has extensive experience in performing gynecomastia surgery

>> Check the surgeon’s qualification, records and the number of surgeries performed

>> Check the before and after photos to understand the quality of the surgeon’s work

>> Talk to former patients and read testimonials

>> Read reviews about the breast surgeon on major search engines

>> Ensure the practice of your choice is accredited by the AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities) for patient safety guidelines.

To be an eligible candidate for the surgery, you should be in good health and have a positive attitude and realistic expectations.
